..These results are consistent with the previous reports that sound-localization performance in gerbil is poor with respect to other species that have comparable neural sensitivity to interaural cues...

Neural rate and timing cues for detection and discrimination of amplitude-modulated tones in the awake rabbit inferior colliculus

..Overall, these findings suggest that caution must be used when evaluating neural encoding mechanisms in one species on the basis of behavioral results in another...

..The behavioral and physiological results shown here illustrate an unexpected, suboptimal utilization of available neural information that could provide new insights into the mechanisms that link neuronal function to behavior. ..

Determination of the potential benefit of time-frequency gain manipulation

..A physiological model of a higher-stage auditory neuron that received simple excitatory and inhibitory inputs from AVCN neurons was able to extract the PSTH fluctuation information in a form of decreased rate with tone level...
